Our Verdict
Citi recently made some major changes to this card including the annual fee increase and authorized fee increased along with some additional credits. I don’t think this card is worth holding long term, but if you can use the benefits and miles then this is a good bonus on this card and I don’t see it going higher in the future. We will add it to the best credit card bonuses.

Does anyone know how the LPs work? Ie, if I already have 90k loyalty points this year before signing up will I get the 20k bonus?
any datapoints for approval/denial?? please post your experience
what benefits do authorized users have?
If looking at this as buying AA miles at 0.7cpp it's not such a bad deal (110k miles for $10k spend with $185 in fees to pay taxes and $595 AF).
C'mon Citi you just had to copy Amex's coupon book model and you can't even copy it right! Where is my complimentary Planet Fitness membership? How about adding a monthly Dollar Tree credit? And a monthly Waffle House credit? Are these too much to ask for on a $600 card?
I would gladly exchange dollar tree for Lyft/GrubHub lol
I'd gladly trade all these garbage credits for pure cash, but that's not an option apparently.
I’d think about it if the fee was like $375
Best I could do is three fiddy.
dollar tree-fiddy?
No, just three FIDDY!
Can you still get this bonus if you have had the regular AAdvantage card bonus just over a year ago
yes. different product
We need more coupon to justify the annual fee. The access to admiral club alone does not entice me. If I eat $40 food at airport, the annual fee is more than 14 meals. If I can triple dip Avis/Budget credit only then I come breakeven.
Can anyone find the fine print about $120 Avis credits now?
Does the admiral club membership get you into AS and OW lounges on domestic flights?
And looks like the lyft credits are pretty useless unless you regularly take 3X rides per month…
The primary cardholder can get into AS lounges when flying AS or AA. No OW lounges for domestic flights unless you have sapphire or emerald status from a non AA or AS partner.
